Want to get a handle on your finances and keep better books? Try these five simple steps. While I’m the geekier math person in our family, I’m still not an impeccable bookkeeper. I’m getting better at it, though. I think part of that is because I love the lady who prepares our tax returns. I […]

Summer is just around the corner. I know because this week we ended the school year and are looking at two months of summertime bliss. You know, lazy days, laughing children, yummy snacks, cool breezes after hours of sunshine, a few splashes in the pool, and, don’t forget yummy snacks.

And while we would like to think that a fantastic summer just happens, the reality is that summer entertainment takes planning or money — or both.

And since we don’t have an unlimited budget, planning is the key. But planning can be a little intimidating if you’re just recovering from months of packing lunches, driving carpools, and searching for lost school papers.

The downloadable ebook is regularly $9, making it a great deal to get your summer under control. You can view sample pages here. This is NOT a physical document; you will only receive a pdf file of the book.

I know from experience that preplanning can help our family stay under budget. And while the book isn’t free (sorry!) — it does contain lots of tips and tricks to help you save money in the coming months. With suggestions on how to create a summer budget and how to save money on all kinds of summer fun, the book also provides the plans and reading recommendations to 16 weeks of summer fun with your kids.

Summer should be fun, but not expensive.

A 200+ page ebook full of summertime inspiration for planning family fun. Includes 38 printable and/or customizable pages as well as ideas for home management, emergency preparedness, family fun, and more.

Thank you for hosting. I’m a follower, and this hop is found on a page on my site that lists more than 200 hops, memes, and photo challenges… some for each day of the week.

Jessica, I bought your Summer Survival Guide, copied it, and made myself a notebook for summer. I can’t wait to use it!!

I do have a question though, is there any way to save a copy to my computer so that I can use the links? You have a ton of great links in there and I can’t access them once my 72 hr. period ends for my download.

Happy Birthday! I hit the big 4-0 in July. Thanks for the research/date-night you did in Carlsbad for me! I hope you had a great time! I wrote down the info for the restaurant. We will try it out. God bless you for all that you do for your readers! Love your blog and appreciate all of your help and advice and tips in my “Life as Mom”
